Re: How to use negative numbers in real-life situation

Imagine you have a bank account, and you are tracking your balance. When you spend money or make withdrawals, the amount is subtracted from your account balance. In this context:
Positive Numbers: Represent deposits or money added to your account.
Negative Numbers: Represent withdrawals or money spent.
Example:
You start with a balance of $500 (positive).
You withdraw $100 from an ATM. The withdrawal is represented as -$100 (negative).
Your new balance is $400.
In this scenario, negative numbers indicate a decrease in the account balance due to a withdrawal. The use of negative numbers helps accurately reflect changes in Papa's Freezeria financial transactions and account balances.
